Softcover. Condition: Poor. No Jacket. Why, in the closing decades of the 1700s, one of the bloodiest periods in European history, did sailors from the warring nations of Britain and France come to this far-flung corner of the world in an attempt to chart coastlines in the Pacific, including Australia? Why engage in such a dange…rous and potentially unrewarding task when a much greater reward might be had fighting wars and sharing the rewards of glory, promotion and prize money? Mortality on these sea journeys was high. Very few of the French navigators survived their first major expedition to the Pacific, and very few of the British commanded more than one. Only one, William Bligh, ever achieved what could be regarded as comfortable retirement. A great deal has been written about many of these navigators - Bouganville, Cook, Bligh, Bass, Baudin and Flinders - often in weighty volumes. This book does not try to emulate such efforts. Instead it seeks to address the spirit of the era, to examine afresh the personal ambitions of these navigators, the quite often different goals of their political patrons and backers, and the reasons why they did or did not succeed. In portraying their frailty and their tenacity author Robert Tiley has produced a fascinating study of lives as relevant now as they were then. Piece(s) of the spine missing.

Hardback. Condition: New. This book brings together the work of scholars from England, France, Germany, Sweden, and the United States to examine the ways in which industrialized nations have used and are developing tax laws to help alleviate environmental problems. For each country, the contributors offer a thorough review of ex…isting and proposed initiatives and an in-depth evaluation of their effectiveness. They also discuss the theoretical framework behind environmental tax initiatives, explain alternative systems to taxation, reveal problems in dealing with environmental concerns that are common to all of the countries studied, and suggest ways to more efficiently coordinate tax and environmental policies. Based on their research, the contributors conclude that the general tax systems of the United States and other countries unintentionally conflict with environmental policies and that no country has yet been able to adequately control automobile pollution, although some have had varying degrees of success in other areas.The volume begins with an introduction that presents a nontechnical discussion of the current economic thinking on environmental taxes and alternatives such as direct government regulation and granting polluters limited or tradable rights to pollute. The following chapters discuss each country in turn. Each chapter first examines the institutional framework of the country--central versus regional government, how legislation is enacted and executed, the distribution of authority over environmental matters, and important environmental policy goals. Next, the compatability of the tax system with environmental goals is analyzed. Finally, there is a thorough treatment of that country's environmental tax initiatives, including an in-depth assessment of their relative success or failure. Policymakers, lobbyists, economists, and attorneys will find Taxation for Environmental Protection enlightening reading.
